The independence polynomial $i(G,x)$ of a graph $G$ is the generating function of the numbers of independent sets of each size. A graph of order $n$ is very well-covered if every maximal independent set has size $n/2$. Levit and Mandrescu…

Let K be a (commutative) field with characteristic not 2, and V be a linear subspace of n by n matrices that have at most two eigenvalues in K (respectively, at most one non-zero eigenvalue in K). We prove that the dimension of V is less…

If $(G,V)$ is a polar representation with Cartan subspace $\mathfrak c$ and Weyl group $W$, it is shown that there is a natural morphism of Poisson schemes $\mathfrak c \oplus {\mathfrak c}^*/W \to V\oplus V^*/\!\!/\!\!/ G$. This morphism…

The superspace ring $\Omega_n$ is a rank $n$ polynomial ring tensor a rank $n$ exterior algebra. Using an extension of the Vandermonde determinant to $\Omega_n$, the authors previously defined a family of doubly graded quotients…

Let $F$ be a finite field with the characteristic $p > 2$ and let $G$ be the unitary Grassmann algebra generated by an infinite dimensional vector space $V$ over $F$. In this paper, we determine a basis for $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-graded…

By a 2-group we mean a groupoid equipped with a weakened group structure. It is called split when it is equivalent to the semidirect product of a discrete 2-group and a one-object 2-group. By a permutation 2-group we mean the 2-group…

In this short review paper the detailed analysis of six two-dimensional quantum {\it superintegrable} systems in flat space is presented. It includes the Smorodinsky-Winternitz potentials I-II (the Holt potential), the Fokas-Lagerstrom…

We construct infinitely many abelian surfaces A defined over the rational numbers such that, for a prime ell <= 7, the ell-torsion subgroup of A is not isomorphic as a Galois module to the ell-torsion subgroup of its dual. We do this by…

We provide the complete classification of seven-dimensional manifolds endowed with a closed non-parallel G$_2$-structure and admitting a transitive reductive group G of automorphisms. In particular, we show that the center of G is…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a $Q$-polynomial distance-regular graph with diameter $D \geq 3$ and standard module $V$. Recently Ito and Terwilliger introduced four direct sum decompositions of $V$; we call these the $(\mu,\nu)$--{\it split…

We study the notion of duality in the context of graded manifolds. For graded bundles, somehow like in the case of Gelfand representation and the duality: points vs. functions, we obtain natural dual objects which belongs to a different…

It is shown that the 3-body trigonometric G_2 integrable system is exactly-solvable. If the configuration space is parametrized by certain symmetric functions of the coordinates then, for arbitrary values of the coupling constants, the…

Let R and S be two irreducible root systems spanning the same vector space and having the same Weyl group W, such that S (but not necessarily R) is reduced. For each such pair (R,S) we construct a family of W-invariant orthogonal…

We present a 1-loop toroidal membrane winding sum reproducing the conjectured $M$-theory, four-graviton, eight derivative, $R^4$ amplitude. The $U$-duality and toroidal membrane world-volume modular groups appear as a Howe dual pair in a…

Let C be a supersingular genus-2 curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 3. We show that if C is not isomorphic to the curve y^2 = x^5 + 1 then up to isomorphism there are exactly 20 degree-3 maps phi from C to the…

A "tensor space" is a vector space equipped with a finite collection of multi-linear forms. In previous work, we showed that (for each signature) there exists a universal homogeneous tensor space, which is unique up to isomorphism. Here we…

We use the computer algebra system \textit{GRTensorII} to examine invariants polynomial in the Riemann tensor for class $B$ warped product spacetimes - those which can be decomposed into the coupled product of two 2-dimensional spaces, one…

We generalise the notions of supersymmetry and superspace by allowing generators and coordinates transforming according to more general Lorentz representations than the spinorial and vectorial ones of standard lore. This yields novel…

Let $\mathbf D$ be the set of isomorphism types of finite double partially ordered sets, that is sets endowed with two partial orders. On $\BZ\mathbf D$ we define a product and a coproduct, together with an internal product, that is,…

Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ can be realised by vector fields on $\mathbb{R}^1\ni x$ with polynomial coefficients $1$, $-2x$, $-x^2$; their Wronskian determinants yield the Lie bracket. Likewise, the monomials $1$, $\ldots$, $x^k/k!$,…
